Fifty-six - Goodbye Iai

Even a few minutes had passed since Emiya Shirou and the concubine sisters had separated, and a spatial distortion had already appeared in the middle of Ai's temple.

The surrounding scenery seemed to be sucked into a spiral that appeared out of thin air, but in the next moment, it all bounced back, and it was Emiya Shirou in a blood-stained kimono who appeared.

"Oh? Are you back?" Emiya's appearance was sudden. However, as if he had already anticipated that he would appear behind him in this way, Yi Ai was not only not a little surprised by Emiya Shirou's sudden return, on the contrary, at the moment when Emiya Shirou just landed, Yi Ai had already turned around and looked at him with a smile, "It's hard work." It was a battle that was even tougher than I expected. ”

Not only is the words amazing, but from the tone of the voice, it seems as if he knows what is going on

There was no doubt that this silver-haired lady had of course used the surface of the water to observe the battle between Emiya Shirou and the Demon Snake. If you think about it, isn't the place where you fight the Demon Snake exactly the kind of water where the proportion of water is ridiculously large, even far higher than that of flat land?

Anyway, if it weren't for the terrain, he wouldn't have become so wolf.

"You, guy, are you peeping again? What's going on with the dolls?" The only remaining right eye stared at the smiling royal sister in front of him, and Emiya Shirou rolled his eyes at Yi Ai angrily.

Maybe it's because the experience I had when I first met Ai was so shocking, and because I had similar experiences before. Even Emiya Shirou himself was a little surprised, as if he had unconsciously become resistant, except for helplessness, he didn't even have the slightest idea about the fact that his personal privacy had been violated again.

"Well, I can't help it, who told you to ask me to do something so simple, and the materials you prepared for me are so sufficient. I accidentally got serious, but when I came back to my senses, the work was already done. There's nothing to do when you look at it horizontally and vertically, so I have to reluctantly observe how you're doing" Even though he rolled his eyes vigorously by Emiya Shirou, Ai still didn't even have a trace of guilt on his face. I saw her reach into the pool next to her and grope for a while, then lifted a humanoid object from the pool and threw it at Emiya Shirou, at the same time, her pretty face already had a hint of playfulness, "What's the matter?" Do you want to blame me for not helping you?"

"How is that possible?"

Completely ignoring Ai's playful look, Emiya Shirou's eyes focused on what the other party had thrown at him.

Although his left hand and right foot had not yet recovered, a throw like this, which was not hostile and could not even be called an attack, was a hundred years early, or twelve, should it be said to be late.

He spun around with his left foot as he stood up, and the object landed on Emiya Shirou's outstretched right arm. There was no danger or danger, and Yiai's playfulness was easily resolved by Emiya Shirou in less than a second.

"I took on the task of killing the snake, and you were responsible for helping me complete the puppet original, and this is how we made an appointment. You have not made a promise to assist me in battle, nor have I asked you for support. Answering a familiar question, Emiya Shirou carefully examined the doll in his hand.

Long green hair, delicate face, pale skin, and a clean temperament that makes people feel sincerely. At first glance, I almost thought it was a real person who had arrived here, and there was no doubt that Iai's achievements had reached or even surpassed Emiya Shirou's requirements.

Sure enough, it's not just that there is a problem with the manufacturing method, but that it must be saved by the specified zĂ i to succeed

"Of course, I'd be grateful if you helped. But on the other hand, even if you don't help, I don't have the right to blame you. ”

Because, that's what was agreed, right?

Responding to Ai's gaze with such a gaze, Emiya Shirou looked up at her, and then continued to bury his head in the examination of the puppet.

"Oh? Really?" I'ai Rao is interesting to look at Emiya Shirou.

"It's true, it's better to say, if I can, I don't want to accept the help of girls" At the same time as Yi Ai asked, he had already completed the inspection of the puppet, and nodded with satisfaction, Emiya Shirou picked up the doll with his right hand and picked up the doll that was no different from Enki except that he didn't know how to speak, and then raised his head and looked at Yi Ai, "No matter what, I'm also a boy, right, male." I'd be embarrassed to accept a girl's help in a scene like this."

"Hmph, only meaningless self-esteem is the same as those two brothers" For Emiya Shirou's insistence, Yi Ai just picked a good-looking eyebrow, looking incomprehensible and uninterested.

"I don't know who you're talking about, but the so-called male is this kind of animal."

"Anyway, I'm a god. And you're older than you, so there's a big difference between accepting my help and accepting help from a "girl", right?" With the blink of an eye, the dull look swept away, and Ai suddenly asked Emiya Shirou what she was interested in.

"Huh? Is there any difference? Also, if you're not a girl, am I a girl?" In response to Yi Ai's off-topic question, Emiya Shirou rolled his eyes again.

Every move has a very feminine taste and charm, coupled with a body that is close to no one except for a few people such as Rider, if even Yi Ai is not a girl, then he really doesn't know what a girl is.

"If you're interested, I can let you"

"Don't! Allow me to say no decisively! I don't have the slightest complaint about my current attitude towards life. ”

"Anyway, although you claim to want to solve it by yourself, didn't you let that little squirrel-like silver-haired girl help you in the end? Asking her to help should be more shameless than asking me to help, right?"

"Goo"

Hit the nail on the head

In the face of Ai's inexplicable question, he has been able to answer fluently, but on this question, Emiya Shirou has stiffened significantly.

It's not entirely true to say "help". If it weren't for the sudden help of Concubine Palace, Emiya Shirou would basically have to explain there, so to be precise, in fact, Emiya Shirou could also be said to have been "rescued" by Concubine Gongxue in turn.

As a former Heroic Spirit, as a current magician, as a self-proclaimed adult man, he was rescued by a little girl who had no combat experience and was about to be as cute and weak as a little squirrel

Although, in terms of the situation of Emiya Shirou at that time, it was understandable to accept help, but he couldn't hang his face

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Miyayuki was the holder of a high godhead, and he was still holding a treasure that was close to the artifact level at the time, Emiya Shirou might have really considered digging a hole in the ground and hiding

P.S.1: Anyway, I added more than 3,000 words to the description I uploaded yesterday, and the total number of words should be about 7,700 words, which contains a detailed explanation of Shirou's mythological setting, and also collected some readers' questions and answered them there, so if you are interested, remember to read it.
